The New Mississippi Town on the
Kansas City. Memphis a Birmlng-
ham.

ANoRY, Mss, Nov. l5.-Specisl
Correspondence to the Birming-
ham Age.l-Amory, as all the
world win soon know. is at the
junction Of the Kansas City, Mem
phis & Birmingham railroad, and
its branch running out to Aberdeen
and just midway between this city
and Memphis.
At Amory the road proposes to
establish roundhouses, machine
shops and all works necessary for e
relay and lay-over station. In fact
they will make Of Amory a town
of importance, a commercial and
manufacturing centre, and it is
said that when a powerful oorpor-
alton, such as this road is, intends
to build up any certain place Il e
thing is almost as good as done.
On Tuesday, the great auction
sale of town lots, to last three days
began at Amory. Many Birming-
ham and Memphis, besides local
capitalists, met there on that day,
and as stated yesterday in special
to the Age, bidding opened in a
lively and spirited manner.
The first lot 5Ox125, on what is
supposed will be the principal bus
mess corner. was bid off at $500,
and others followed in rapid sue
cession at prices varying from 5000
to s4OO.
SO FIR the sale has been an er.
tire success, and the company has
reason to congratulate itself that
the purchasers invested not mere,
ly for speculation, but by far the
larger proportion of thSm with
the view Of building Immediately
both store and dwelling houses.
Harry Stone, the GENIAL land
agent of the company, was every
where all the time, looking after
both the personal comfort and inan.
clal interests Of the large crowd
and Mr.. J. w. @. Wright, the pro.
prietor Of the Amory Hotel, excelI
ed himselfin attending to the wants
of the inner man.
Much credit is due Mr.. W. H
MeElvain, the lightning auctioneei
who not only kept everyone in I
good humor, but through his untir
ing efforts did so much toward re
alizing handsome prices.
! The site OF the town Is almos
perfect. The ground for some dis
tanoe around rolls gently, affordinl
natural drainage, but at the sam
time so nearly level that but litt
work will be necessary to prepar
for building-it might be said non
at all. A 100000 hotel vii
be erected at once, and Amor,
will be the dinner station for th
road.
The future Of Amory is assured
and the hearts Of investors ar
made glad.

Editor Chickasdp Messenger:
DEAR sIR:-Will you be so kind
as to allow me, through the col
umns Of your most valuable paper,
to ask few pertient questions, in
regard to weighing cotton at the
many shipping points in our State,
when carried there especially by
the planter on his own wagon.
In the first place, is the cotton
crop of Mississippi controlled by
the State, or is it not individual
property
Each farmer owning and oulti-
waiting his crop, most assureidly it
is T~ivate property, owned and
controlled by each planter.
Well, then, what right did the
Legislature have, composed priRci-
paIy of non-producers and pro-
fessional men, in creating the Office
of cotton weigher, to weigh indi-
vidual cotton, which is strictly
private? Requiring each weigher
to pay a privilege tax for weighing.
Does not this privilege tax on
weighers compel HIM to charge
more for weighing cotton than he
would be willing to weigh for,
were it not for said taxi
Most assuredly.
Well, then, does it or does it not
amount to a tax on cottonl
Most assuredly it does.
Well, then, what about the con-
stltuhonallity of such a law2
Has the Legislature the right to
discriminate
Does not the constitution en-.
phatically declare, that all taxa.
ton shall be uniform
In the name of justice and con.
stitutional law-saying nothing Of
about Democracy or free govern
ment-is it not time for the Legis.
lature of our State to cease barter
ing away the rights and privileges
of the wealth producers of the
State!
Only look and see what the Ag
ricultural Lien law has done. We
hope hereafter they will let pri.
yate property alone. Suck as die
tating how cotton shall be weighed
and by whom.
The planters can regulate thai
matter. The Legislature has nc
more right to say who shall weigl
cotton or at what price, than t
say who shall weigh or measur,
our corn, potatoes, hay, oats, ol
any thiHg else.
If the professional men and non
producers will let the farmer
alone they will try and feed then
all. Hands of, gentlemen, we viii
weigh our own cotton, allowing
you the privilege of attending I,
your own affairs IN the future a
we have always done.
ALLIANCE.

Horrible Accident.

CHIsAao, July 16.-A horrible accident
occurred this morning, at the Union Steel
works, at corner of Ashland and Archer
avenues, by which three men are likely to
die. The men were engaged in pouring
hot iron into mould that was damp
when the metal flew and scared them
dreadfully. They we're taken to the county
hospital, and physicians declare their re-
covery is out of question.
Alarge casting was to be made and prep
arations had been completed by the
night shift of men. The ladle by which
the molten metal was carried from the
mouth of the blast furnace to the mold
had been freshly plastered by one of the
night men without any adequate idea of
the early hour at which the operations
were to commence. This morning at $50,
the plug was picked out of the furnace
spout and lava like rush of white hot
metal took place. 1t was large melt for
big casting, and bands of men who had
business stood around that seething cal
dron; Others were grouped admiring the
scintillation of sparks that few from the
bubbling stream.
All at once there was an upheaval in the
ladle. An explosion had taken place in
theIlower part of its capacious interior.
In moment the hot metal was spreading
itself over the heads and faces and bodies
of onlookers and workers alike. The
water in the fresh plaster had generated
steam and a miniature boiler explosion,
with maximum results, had taken place.
The thick paving of coal dust and mold
ing sand on the floor was forced into the
air, and gave the outside world the i'm
preston of great fire. But there was
no fire, and hardly any damage to the
building to speak of, but dozen men lay
grooming in agony when the binding
cloud had subsidized.
The police and uninjured men forming
rescuing party, three of the worst hurt
we're quickly on their way to the county
hospital.

1861, when he resigned his captaincy in
the Mounted Rinemen, now the Third
cavalry, and entered the Confederate
service as colonel under General Holmes.
He served for two years in the army of
Northern Virginia under Lee, was pro-
NOTED to major-general in the latter part
of 1862, after the Sharpsburg campaign,
where he commanded division. He was
ii en- transferred to the Transatlantic
division under General Kirby Smith, and
put in command of the military district
of Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.
When the war closed he settled in Texas,
living in Austin and Dallas, connect
ing himself with Tom Scott in the
Texas 4 Pacific railroad. After
six or seven years he quit the
railroad business and went to Mexico,
where he was engaged for quite while
in mining operations. Recently he has
been living in Winchester, Va. General
Walker was endorsed for the place by the
entire Texas delegation, and by a large
number of prominent congressman from
other states. At the beginning of the
present administration he was an appli-
cant for the Guatemalan mission. Cen
eral Mauray, who ia minister to Bogota,
is a most intimate friend of General
Walker, they having been in the same
regiment in the Mexican war. General
Walker has always shown himself in his
several spheres to be a man Of oonspiou-
Gus ability, and he will undoubtedly re-
feet great credit on his new post.

near the trail taken by tine Fort Worth
dogs yesterday morning, but the officers
have not been able to ;develop any clue
from this discovery.
Captain Bostick arrived at home this
morning, having travelled all the way
from Fort Sill, Indian Terri
tory, where the dispatch reached
him, to Henrietta, distance of about ITO
miles, from 8 o'clock yesterday. He is
rief-stricken, but is not able to throw any
light upon the tragedy. Mr.. and Mrs.
Watkins and Abel Norwood, of Dallas, the
betrothed of Miss Watkins, are in constant
attendance at Miss Watkins bedside. Miss
Bostick has spent the day very well under
the circumstances, and the doctors now
say, that if brain fever does not set in
her recovery may be counted on as
certain. She is In her right mind,
and remembers having gone to
bed with Miss Watkins at midnight. She
further states that she and Miss Watkins
talked for about four or five minutes after
they retired, but beyond this she remem-
bers nothing until she awoke to conscious
ness yesterday morning Miss Watkins
has passed better day than 1t was ex-
pected she would by the attendant physi-
clans, but all the doctors still unite in say
ing that her recovery is impossible, and
that her death is only question of time.
She has talked several times in answer
to questions put to her by
attendants, but has been able to speak
only few words at time. 1t is thought
that she has not had complete control of
her mind for a moment since the fatal
blow was struck by the cowardly assassin.
Some of the neighbors who arrived at the
scene of the outrage Immediately after its
occurrence, claim that they smelt chloro-
form. It was impossible to say certainly
whether or not chloroform was admins
tered. If chloroform was given, then it
seems certuin that rape was the intention
of the villain.
GAINESVILLE, July 15.-Miss Genie Wat
kins, one of the victims of the assault of
Wednesday morning, died this morning at
1886. The remains will be carried to Dal-
las tomorrow for burial.
GAINESVILLE, July 16.-The remains OF
Miss Watkins, of Dallas, who died from
the effects of the murderous assault made
on her Wednesday, we're taken to Dallas
for interment. The officers are at work
on a clue which they will not disclose.
The story that the assault was
committed by the supplemented brother
of Miss Bostick is without foundation,
as it is proved that the boy was in bed at
the time. Miss Bostick is recovering, but
has not yet been told of the terrible fate
of her companion. She asked to-day why
Miss Watkins did not come to see her, and
was told that Miss Watkins was sick. Miss
Bostick now remembers being awakened
by Miss Watkins struggles, but she must
have been struck by the assassin the mo-
ment she moved.

Fatalities at st. Louis.

ST, LOUIS, July 16.-For the past week
it has been intensely hot in this city, and
there has been much suffering in con-
sequence, though there have been few
cases of prostration and only four fatal
ties up to to-day, when the thermometer
beat all previous records.
The mercury stood at 102 deg. in the
shade at p. M, with eighteen prostra-
tions, three of which have resulted fatally.
The heat has been very oppressive, owing
to the humidity of the atmosphere, which
the signal service reported at 20. slight
shower yesterday evening re-
lieyed this, and to-day the
record showed the humidity al
81. This relief, with a steady south
western breeze, neutralized the 8 deg
increase in temperature, so far as con.
cerned human suffering. The signal ser
vice promises several days more of In
tense heat. All the foundries and glass
works have shut down during the heated
perion.

A Dynamite Mine.

MILWAUKEE, July 16.-A special from
Albany, Wis, says that mine containing
AGO pounds of dynamite was found at
Montella, where the construction party of
the Chicago, Milwaukee a. st. Paul rail
way was building across the track of the
Illinois Central road. Manager Miller,
of the st. Paul road, received advices cor
roborating the report. II is not known
who buried the explosive, and those who
are interested find it impossible to believe
that anybody connected with the Illinois
Central could be guilty of the crime.

DALLAS, Tex, July 16.-The funeral of
Miss Genie Watkins, the victim of the
Gainesville tragedy, took place here from
the Floyd street Methodist church this af-
ternoon at 2:30 o'clock. The church was
crowded to it's utmost capacity with the
best people of Dallas, and the services
were the most touching and imposing ever
held in the city. The procession to the
graveyard was almost endless, and as it
passed along the streets it was viewed in
silence by the thousands of people who
lined the sidewalks. No event has trans
pired in the state which threw such a
shadow over our CITY.
